Hello Bharat

What do I have to write if I want to merge both footers? I want to have a large one instead of two.

Thanks

Rodrigo,

Try the following code which should make the first footer widget full width and not display the second footer widget.

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) { .site-footer .widget-column.footer-widget-1 { width: 100%; } }
.footer-widget-2 { display: none; }
